''''''Through this darkness, you lead me to''''''
I stared at the forest entrance… I felt shivers from my back… I took a step forward and another… I entered the forest and walked…
I have been thinking how we were so caught up with her… Months ago, she was a complete stranger… and now… she's part of our little family…
I cannot see clearly… The forest is dark, fog covered most of the places and it thickens and thickens. It was late in the evening… but I do not care… I have to get her back…
I did not even know if Gojyo Goku and Sanzo were still behind me… I have not look at them…, talk…, or have fun with... FUN… it used to be fun when she was beside us… beside me…
I heard some shrubs moving… I was about to turn but held my place when I heard Goku whining about being hungry, Gojyo whispering bout me hearing it and being mad… and… well, Sanzo… He fired six shots… causing for Gojyo and Goku to scream…
I smiled and continued walking… I knew I could count on them... Maybe they knew this was going to happen… They knew I would act like this… well… I have been so hard on them these past months… I could not take that Reika would leave us… leave me alone…
I stopped.
"Hakkai?"
"Oi, Hakkai?" Goku and Gojyo asked.
There was a silhouette in front of me and it walked and walked closer to me.
"Gono." I heard a feminine voice say… it sent me Goosebumps to hear that name again… I focused my eyes on the silhouette… I still could not see well… It was too dark… but some of the silhouette's curves were shown by the moon's light.
It's a woman. I thought.
"Gono? Let's live together…" Wait! I recognized that voice… It was… It was…
"Kana?!" I asked in a shouting way.
"WHAAAT???!" I heard the three ask as they walked closer to me.
"I thought you were… I know you are…" I mumbled.
"Wouldn't you want to live with me?"
"Forever?"
Forever? I closed my eyes as she circled her hands on my neck… She trailed kisses on them and left warm feelings…
Forever?
I saw a blurry figure on my mind… I saw her… I saw her…
but… she was going away… away…
I reached out my hand to reach her but I couldn't… I couldn't…
'NO!!!' I shouted on my mind… I shouted…
Suddenly she grew closer and closer… She was crying… crying… crying…
'Why are you crying?' I asked her…
'You promised to stay with me…' I wanted to touch her but I can't… I can't…
'You promised to sleep beside me… always…' I wanted to hug her… but I can't… I can't…
'You promised me forever…' Forever… yeah… I like that…
'You promised that we will be happy together…' I wanted to die… but I can't… I can't…
'YOU PROMISED!!!" I just died.
I felt my heart being torn apart as I saw her slowly vanishing… fading and fading away… I reached out again… but too late… she was gone… gone…
'No… Reika… come back… Reika…'
'REIKA!!!' I opened my eyes and the figure holding me was wasting away… she was turning into dust… I looked at the dusts on the ground… Then there was a light coming from our front… I looked up… There was a light slowly forming and a golden door, carved with angels, opened in front of us.
I stared at the door in front of us and a golden light showering us from there…
The light of darkness. I thought as I stared at it. Then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked at my side… and there was Sanzo. He nodded to me.
"We'll find her." He assured me. He walked towards the door and entered.
"I hate standing around…" Gojyo proclaimed as he followed Sanzo inside.
I felt a thug on my clothes and I looked down… I found Goku's eyes… They were whining… sad… lonely…
"Na, Hakkai? I want to see one-chan soon… Could we make this a little faster?" Goku asked as he scratched his head.
"Are?"
"We'll find that rotten cucumber! We will toast 'em real good! Ne, Hakkai?"
"Hai hai! We sure will!" I replied at him and I smiled. Goku nodded and nodded towards the large door.
I stared at door with blank thoughts. "Hakkai!" Goku shouted. I smiled again and walked towards the door.
''''''I would kill every light, two by two''''''
I entered the room and covered my eyes with my hand. The light was too much for my eyes. When the darkness returned, I removed my hand and looked around…
It looked like a tunnel and it was lighted with torches.
"Aaaargh!" I looked on my side and saw Goku trying to reach one of the torches. Beside him was Gojyo. He was mocking Goku. I smiled a little.
Suddenly there was a gunshot. "Sanzo!" The three of us shouted. We ran towards the noise and found Sanzo holstering his gun.
"Sanzo?" I asked. He looked up at us and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He walked towards the door which was a hindrance and pushed it opened.
"It 'was' guarded."
"You corrupt monk!"
"Nani?!"
"Maa maa."
"Did you have to make all that scene?!" Gojyo shouted as he approached Sanzo.
"Nani?!"
"Maa maa."
"Great! Now they know we're here!" Gojyo shouted again.
Sanzo was about to say something but he looked at me, I smiled and he turned away. He went through the door.
We followed. It was a hall… with a red carpet on the middle… We walked our way to the red carpet and followed where it was going to…
I stared at the red carpet… It reminded me of blood and the night… Kana died…
"Be prepared." I heard Sanzo said. I looked up and saw nearly a hundred demons surrounding us. Gojyo, Goku and Sanzo formed a circle around me… and I raised an eyebrow…
''''''These hidden fright that you never shown''''''
They're protecting me??? Isn't that my job? Sanzo fired and fired at the demons approaching us. Gojyo made his chain longer so he would not have to move too much. Goku waited for the demons to near him and that's when he will attack.
I'm beginning to think that they planned this… I smiled. Sanzo knows me too much… He knew this will happen… He knew I could not take the fact that she left… He knew I was going to think of suicide...
Yeah I tried killing myself a few weeks ago… but Sanzo always came and Goku would always remind me of the word ^forever^…
She often used that word. She always promised forever… Forever...
There is no use being lonely… I have a family… Goku, Sanzo, Gojyo… but we are still missing another one… and we are here to get her back...
I wonder why she left…? What was she so afraid of???
I don't know… I don't know…
She has been the only woman on the group yet she acted like a thousand…
A friend to Sanzo, an adviser to Gojyo, a mother to Goku and… a… a… an… a… I don't even know what she is to me… but I can feel that she is very important… more important than the world… more important than my life… WAIT! She 'is' my life…
She's a goddess… yeah, I know that… Sanzo always reminded me that word… 'Goddess'… I don't give a damn! She's everything to me… Everything… Everything…
"Let's go." I snapped out of my trance as I heard Sanzo's voice. I looked around… Every monsters were down… most of them banished…
I looked up at Sanzo, he was approaching the next door. It was a golden door...
It was the last room... The last one… I will find her there… I will…
''''''Gave you something you should not know''''''
We entered the room, there was a golden carpet on the middle of the room… reaching through the throne…
I stared at the person sitting on the throne… It was a man… I couldn't see much but I was sure it was a man… We approached him and stopped three feet away from him.
I felt my blood rise… My temperature getting hot… I fisted my hands as I looked at his grinning face… He was looking down on us… looking down on me…
I want to kill him… I want to choke him to death… but that's not me… that's Gono… I'm Hakkai. My eyes traveled curiously… I was looking for something missing… but I could not find it… I found my eyes locked with him and he grinned even more…
"Glad you could come." He greeted…
I was losing patience… Another not so good word that comes out of his mouth… He dies.
----------------------------
Through this darkness, you lead me to…
I would kill every light, two by two.
These hidden fright that you never shown…
Gave you something you should not know.
